My Pelican Image Featured on the Rottnest Island Instagram Page

I was excited this morning to see that the official Rottnest Island Instagram page have posted one my images on their feed:

 

 

I’ve visited Rottnest Island twice this year, and both times I’ve taken my camera with me.

There’s so many beautiful beaches and signs to see, and there always seems to be plenty of Pelicans there too.

The Pelican pictured below was perched on the jetty pole, so I waited there patiently until he finally flew off into the distance. The image was captured back in July.

The original uncropped image can be seen here on Flickr (click on the image to view all of the details on Flickr):

Naples From Above

As you can probably tell, it was a very cloudy and gloomy day in Naples, Italy when I took this photo.

I think this shot demonstrates how common it is for an Italian city to be right on the coastline, with the wilderness right next door.

Fishing at Woodman Point Jetty

Woodman Point Jetty, busy with fisherman and Pelicans.

These two pelicans were hoping for a free feed, but unfortunately the fish weren’t coming to the party!

Ripples | Geographe Bay

The sun sets over Geographe Bay.

For this shot I thought I’d try a different composition – too many of landscape my shots are in landscape orientation!

Swan River Sunrise

Swan River Sunrise

A quick snap taken (using my Nexus 5) on my morning commute last week.

Taken from the jetty in front of the Old Swan Brewery in Perth, Western Australia.

I am constantly surprised by the beauty I see while riding my bike along the Swan River through South Perth and Kings Park!

Blue Lake, Mt Gambier

On a recent drive across Australia, I stopped at the Blue Lake, in Mount Gambier, South Australia.

This fascinating landmark is located inside an inactive volcano.

Each year, the lake completely changes colour to a fantastic turquoise blue.

Amazingly, this lake serves as the main water supply for the town of Mount Gambier.

This images is two separate photos merged into a single panorama.

Golden Shine

The sun sets over Southbank in Melbourne.

I took this shot using my nifty fifty during Trey Ratcliff’s Melbourne Photowalk back in January.

The walk had over 200 people attend, which made it quite easy to put a few people in the frame for this shot.
